Ioppe names a city identified as the setting, destination, source, or extent of events involving Peter and other people.

Ioppe is used solely as a city name: it marks where Tabitha and Peter are located, where messengers are sent to summon Simon, and the place from which companions come or through which news spreads.

   The accusative form marks the city as a destination in summons and sending clauses: in Acts 10:5 the APB renders, "send men to Joppa," and in Acts 10:32 it renders, "Send therefore toward Joppa." The dative form places people or events there, as Acts 9:36 describes a disciple in the city and Acts 11:5 locates the speaker praying there; the genitive form occurs in statements about brothers coming from the city and an event becoming known throughout it in Acts 10:23 and Acts 9:42.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB presents the city with directional and locative phrases such as "to Joppa," "in Joppa," "from Joppa," and "throughout all Joppa." These phrases reflect the surrounding clauses, not definitions of the term.
